I want bad cops to be punished as much as you do but when someone refuses to obey the lawful order of a police officer and resists allowing all the officer to place him under arrest and cuff him and, as a result, the police officer has no choice but to use physical force in order to cuff the person then if the person is injured or even killed in the process of being cuffed, it is the fault of the person resisting arrest not the police officer.
Using this logic, any person resisting arrest could be shot.

find a bad cop who deliberately used excessive physical force and as a result someone was killed and I'll agree with you that he should be punished to the fullest extent the law allows.
Great in theory. In reality, it ends up being Kelly Thomas. Where cops can kill with impunity.

Nonsense.
The law only allows a police officer to use just enough physical force necessary to subdue the person.
That's what the police did in this case.

More nonsense.
In reality, what you want to do is keep the police from being able to detain anyone who resists arrest and that would result in anarchy.
